Win 10 Anniversary, automatic updates & Group Policy Settings
Hello, I've just installed KB3176929. Now I am running Windows 10 Education v1607, b14393.10.
Almost everything it's fine despite "Windows Update Settings" .
In the past I've used Local Group Policy Editor to tweak the settings and make Windows notify me when I need some update, without downloading or installing anything.
Now, in gpedit the relevant policy is still correct:
The problem is that in the Update section, under Settings it shows the following:
So it's clearly stated that download and installation will be executed without user intervention.
Also Active hours button is also displayed, but I have never had this before Anniversary update.
Before this update my Update Settings screen was similar to this one:
What I have already tried to get back the previous behavior:
- set the policy Configure auto updates to not configured
- shut down and power up
- set the policy Configure auto updates to enabled & 2 = Notify before...
- manually checked for update
- reboot
I did not succeed.
Is this policy still applicable to Win 10 Edu?
Have you any suggestions?
Many thanks :)
P.S.: I am wondering if disabling active hours from registry can help or not.
